Thanks for the source. I have been diving since 1975, including several years as an instructor, but had never heard the source of the flag design.

Wow! Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that. Ignore the haters, King Arthur.

Let me tell you, we grew up with a 26′ Pierson, and when we got caught in a storm, it was breathtaking! I mean, to be totally vertical on a sailboat, and praying that you don’t fall off is just one of those experiences that your ding-dong-dummy critic should realize as fact. Dunno if that’s the kinda thing that turned your critic off, but she needs to wake up and smell the coffee. On top of that, these days it seems one must deal with pirates.(Getting pretty bad in some ports from what I hear….)

I just tried to order your book, and I couldn’t. This could be due to my technological retardation, but I tried several searches on the Amazon. A 36′ Catalina is sweet. Speed boats are a rush, but sailing is the best…

I pulled the book. It wasn’t selling well and one critic accused me of destroying her dream. If I had an Email address to send it to you could get a free PDF version. Not sure how that is done safely on an open blog though.
